According to Ndume, the poor performance of 2019 budget is no fault of the executive, but a result of the late passage of the 2019 budget.

“The budget was passed in June and you see it cannot be implemented, but despite that, the president’s commitment is commendable as he has now ordered that N600 billion be released by the end of the month in compliance with the execution of the 2019 budget.

“I think that will make a lot of difference in critical areas.”

Sen. Adamu Bulkachuwa said a lot of work had been done underground on the budget and the document presented was a result of what had been agreed upon.

He said speed, dedication and precision would be employed in the deliberations on the budget to ensure its passage by the legislature, not later than November.

Bulkachuwa said this would enable the President to accent to it before the end of December, to ensure its implementation from January 2020.
